The OVER is coming in at a rate of 56.4 percent through Week 8 (66-51-3 O/U), which is enough to win you about $900 if you simply put $100 on the OVER every game.

Higher scoring is one of the key reasons for all of the OVERs. We’ve seen 46.05 points scored per game this season, which is the second-highest mark over the past five seasons. The average closing total is 45.64 points, which may seem like it leaves a small margin, but that’s all you need in this game to gain an edge sometimes.
